Those methods are only conveniance methods. You don't really need them.
For example, instead of AddChangePropertyReward(response,...) you can
also do: response->AddRewardFactory() where you first create an instance
of iQuestRewardFactory. You can create such instances by using
iQuestRewardType->CreateRewardFactory(). You can get the iQuestRewardType
by doing iQuestManager->GetRewardType(). So basically:
iQuestRewardType* type = mgr->GetRewardType ("cel.questreward.createentity");
csRef<iQuestRewardFactory> fact = type->CreateRewardFactory();
iQuestTriggerResponseFactory* response = ...;
response->AddRewardFactory (fact);

Yes

I think this is one you might like to keep inside the quest manager.
It is indeed
fairly specific.

Yes, they should also be refactored out.
